A Cup Of Orange Tea

John "Orange Julius" Boehner today:
There aren't any major differences in beliefs between "Tea Party" activists and the Republican Party, the top House Republican said Thursday.

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said the GOP and the groups conservative activists across the country are indistinguishable when it comes to policy.

"There really is no difference between what Republicans believe in and what the tea party activists believe in," Boehner said during an appearance on the conservative Mike Gallagher's radio show.


Boehner said his advice to Republican lawmakers going into this fall's elections has been to "prove it to the tea party activists that we really are who we say we are."
Well okay then.  Glad we got that settled.  As Steve M. points out, does this mean the White House, Dems, and Firebaggers will figure this out and stop treating either the GOP or the Teabaggers as rational actors interested in governing?
I'm going to say this with confidence: If we're against it, most teabaggers are for it, and vice versa. We're never going to find common ground. The majority of them don't want to find common ground with us -- ever. The whole point, for them, is that we are the enemy.
And in that respect, the GOP and the Teabaggers are wholly united.  They will never work with the Dems.  They only look forward to dominating them.
